For several days previous the Avoatli- er both down in the valley at Hedley and up at the Nickle Plate mine had been clear and bright, Avith sharp frost at nights, shewing hoar white on the hoard Avalks in the mornings, suggestive of slight humidity that Avas not othcrAvise apparent, for Avith the exception of an occasional scud scarcely a cloud AA'as to be seen. Friday night the editor enjoyed' the hospitality of mine superintendent G. P. Jones at the Nickle Plate, and Avas therefore on the ground on Saturday morning to Avitness it. Shortly after sunrise Avhich of course is not early at this season of the year, the air Avas bright and sunny as usual, hut Avhite mist filled the valley looking soutlnvard, and a genial warmth as balmy as a spring morning filled the. air. About nine o'clock, however, the Avalk doAvn tlie track of the electric railAvay towards the ore bins brought the Avhole valley of the Similkameen T"o southward iu plain view. From a point on the track about Sunnysidos No. 2, the scene presented Avas almost- startling in its grandeur. There Avas stretched of the ranges on either side, shutting out all vieAv of the valley bottom beneath and covering all the foot-hills and loAver mountains, except here and there Avhere a rounded top peeped out, looking like islands. To' contemplate the scene avus to i'eel like old Noah on Arrarat, for someAvhere doAvn below there,'Hedley, for its sins,' avus buried LOUO feet deep under" a. great white sea ; but just where it might be found there was nothing to sIioav except the Avhite crooked arm of this sea that reached up the canyon of Twenty-Mile. The top of this dense Avhite cloud mass reached to Avitliin about 400 feet of the ore bins and it avus AA'ith reluctance that one boaided the loaded ore car on the gravity train to plunge doAvn into it. By this time also there Avas a tendency on -the. part of the upper strata to" lift und'scatter, as the car broke through it into aspaceAvhere there avus no floating cloud, and no sunshine; for the upper strata was still sufficiently deu.se to he impenetrable by a single sunbeam. Farther down Avhen the car dipped into a loAver strata it avus plain that Lhe cloud had hung here all night for every branch and tiny tAvig Avas clothed in silver spangles Avith frost crystals, and noAvhore do frost crystals take such beautiful forms as thosY from cloud vapor renting on a mountain side.

A somewhat similar scene is sho\*>'n in the illustration of a vieAv from the same point taken four years ago. But the grandest part of the whole thing Avas not seen until the SAvitch- back Avas reached, and another vieAv of the same Avas obtained from the trestle platform at the ore bins. There stretching aAvay out score on scores of miles to westAvard to Avhere tlie horizon met the -snoAv-capped, ragged-edged summits of the Cascade range, this same Avhite cloud mass apparently filled up the whole Avide Nearing central station a slight breeze up the valley had the cloud drifting along the face of the mountain, and Avhen this wind freshened sufficiently strong to set the branches swaying a vigorous suoav storm resulted from the over-laden tree tops; A short distance beloAV central station the car again left the cloud mass Avhen Hedley and all the valley bottom came again into clear vitnv, Avith nothing out of the ordinary���������only a cloudy dry day in Hedley. It Avas a sudden transition from fairy land to the ordinary round of things mundane, but it av.-is a unique experience and one Avhich Ave wouldn't have missed for a good-deal. , Seattle, Nov. 30���������The government of Canada will construct a building at the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposition to be. held in Seattle from June 1st, to October 10th, 1909, inclusive, covering a ground space of 300x150 feet. Wm. Hutchinson, Canadian Exhibition Commissioner, Avho is< noAV in London, has been notified by the Canadian government to leave for Seattle as soon as possible to select the site and make arrangements for the construction of the building. It has been definitely known.for some time that the govern men t of Canada Avould participate in the big fair, but this is the first official information regaiding thu scope of the plans. In a letter to President J. E. Chil- berg, Commissioner Hutchison states that it will not be possible, for him to leave London before January 1st, and requests the exposition management^ to select at site that Avould be- best aA-ailahlo for Canada. He also requests ground plan;, of the exposition in,order that the'nutline of Lhe building may be Avorked out before his arrival in Seattle. The announcement that the government of Canada Avill be represented on such a large scale as the size of the site desired indicates, has aroused general interest throughout the State of Washington. Jt is apparently the intention to make a complete exhibit of all the varied resources of Canada, and the building will also house the display from the Yukon Territory. Tlie space Avhich it"is supposed to cover will be the largest occupied by any one building on the grounds. The mild climate conditions of the Puget Sound country���������Seattle never suffers from extremes in heat or cold��������� makes it possible to construct buildings in the avinter Avithontany great difficulties and the Canadian government Avill have no trouble in completing its exhibit Palace tAvo months in advance of the opening of the fair if the avoi-k is started in January. There are three available sites that may be used for the Canadian building. One is located adjourning Machinery hall on one side and the- Forestry building on the other and overlooking lake Avashington. Another is a large tract next to the California-state build- and also overlooking Lake Washington and the third is beloAV the geyser basin and at tho lower end of the string of maiu exhibit palaces, overlooking both Lake "Washin ton and Lake Union.

The basis upon Avhich the stock is advanced is present earning poAver of the company and the month just past has witnessed the greatest expansion in the company's business of any month since it started���������not quite tAvo years ago.

Gives Little Information. Vancouver papers in noting the presence in that city of Mr. Kennedy get some accurate railAvay geography of the district to date, but no peep into the immediate future. About a month ago or more the same papers claim to have got Pat Welsh in toAV and Avert; able to go into the question, future, past and present. They claim that he enlightened them on certain questions about Avhich the people here Avould like very much to knoAV, even going so much into detail that the time for completion of track-laying to Hedley Avas specified. But of course reporters on city dailies are sometimes thought capable of dra-Aving on their imagination and Mr. Welsh may not have said all that was credited to him. Evidently Mr. Kennedy avus taking no chances of misconstruction and Aveighed well his Avoids. The Province reports him thus: "Mr. J. H. Kennedy, chief engineer of the V. V. & E. railAvay, a portion of the Great Northern system, is a guest at the Hotel Vancouver. Mr. Ken- The. choice of one of these three locations will be offered to Canada through commissioner Hutchison. Ground plans and all of the necessary data have been prepared and foi-Avard- ed to him at London an/l it is expected the commissioner Avill be in shape, to call for bids for the construction of the building within a short time after his arrival in Seattle. A novel and up-to-date way of advertising British Columbia is daily to be seen at the Crystal Palace, near- London, a resort which, all avIio frave visited the metropolis know, is visited daily by an immense crowd of sightseers. "The advertisement consists of moving pictures shoAving British Columbia scenes as Avell as many glimpses, of our leading industries in operation. Among the picturesshoAvn -ire'photo- ��������� graphs of saAvmill at Avork cutting up logs from the giant Douglas fir; others; depict operations in the logging camps- and the Londoner gazes open-mouthed at the dexterity and speed Avith Avhich the immense trees are handled by the* help of donkey engines and block and tackle. Next- come the canneries and the audience is taken through all the process from the catching of the fish to the last operation of sealing and labelling the salmon cans. The mines are similarly treated. Nor are the agricultural and horticultural interests neglected. The great firm af photographers Avhich lead all others in Europe in the moving picture business, had-its best photographers in the various parts of the province, this summer. Some of them Avent to the orchaids and berry picking, apple packing and other sights, familiar to the fruit groAA-er are produced on the sheet and arouse intense interest among the visiLors at the Crystal Palace. The sIioav is being given in the electric theatre and no extra charge is made and enormous croAvds are seeing the moving pictures every day. Capt. the Hon. Mr. TatloAv, Avho is iioav visiting England, AA'ent to the Crystal Palace to see Avhat kind of an exhibition was heing given. He took a particular interest in it and he arranged for the photographers to come out, and in a general way superintended their itinerary, although the idea was originally suggested by Mr. Turner, the agent general.' A. letter was received from him yesterday by the premier and in it the finance minister says that the pictures are very good and meeting Avith immense success. It is generally considered both an effective and an up-to-date Avay of advertising the country and gives the homestaying Englishman a better idea, of Avhat British Columbia is really like than he could ever gain, except by coining out in person, Avhich it is hoped that a great many will do. Altogether the experiment seems to be an unqualified success and after the engagement at the Crystal Palace is over the pictures will be exhibited at tlie chief London music halls.���������Nelson News- THE CHRISTMAS ROD AND GUN Tho Canadian exhibit will include a display of its agriculture and horticulture, its mining resources will be shoAvn and special attention Avill be given to dairying and some of tlie finest stock in the Avorld will be shown in this display. In his letter commissioner Hutchison states that the Avork of collecting the various exhibits has been under Avay for several months and the entire display will be assembled three months in advance of the opening of the expos ition. nedy's present headquarters are at Keremeos, in the Similkameen district. Tlie road is graded twenty miles beyond to Hedley, where the Nickle Plate mine is located. It iioav extends several hundred miles through Canadian territory. At Laurier, B. C, in the boundary district, it joins the Hilllineruuningnorth from Spokane. Vancouver will ultimately be lined Avith the Kootenays and Boundary as soon as the line betAveen S minis and Keremeos is built.

It is true they did consent, but in no gracious mood, to listen to the argument of E. V. BodAvell who had been retained by the province to present its case and press for tin opinion. As Mr. Bodwell stated in presenting the case, he had given due notice to the dominion authorities and requested them to employ counsel to represent them, and-he Avas disappointed that they had not seen tit to do so. In his. argument Mr. Bodwell went exhaus tively into the question of British Columbia's reversionary interest in these Indian lands given by them at the time of the British, Columbians will pur- i chase and use the Muskoka! stamps as well as their OAvn. j THE BANK OF 12 10 28 WHO'LL GET THE PORTFOLIO?, Over a month has j)assed since the general election and still no move appears to have'been-made to fill the vacant port-folio v of mines. Why there should be any delay about it is a little surprising, for the most natural arrangement would be to provide n seat for tlie only man in sight for tlie job. That man undoubtedly is the former minister Wm. Templeman. British Columbia has a claim on the premier for that port-folio, and this claim, he once admitted by appointing Mr. Templeman to the position some three years ago. There is no apparent reason why the defeat of Mr. Templeman by the narrow majority which left him out, should debar him from again filling the office, especially when parliamentary usage not only sanctions such a course but points to it. That defeat was merely the fortunes of war. There are two survivors it is true���������Ralph Smith and-Dr. Sloan who represent B. C. constituencies, but both look like impossibilities for a score of reasons. The OttaAva seat is vacant and could be made available if the premier would only say the word; and Mr. Templeman as member for Ottawa would be as much a British Colombia minister as if lie represented Victoria. British Columbia, both conseiwatiA'e and liberal, had reason to feel some pride in the fact that Avhen Mi'. Templeman formerly filled the post, he was one of the very few clean ministers that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had in his cabinet. Mr. Templeman's, home life Avas clean, and if any charge of graft could be made against him the Gazette has not heard of it. If Sir Wilfrid really wants British Columbia to have that portfolio he can make no mistake in holding on to Templeman as the best available timber in sight. Laurier in spite of mistakes is personally clean, and he should show a preference for clean ministers by retaining in his cabinet those who are clean. union, only for theuse and ben- of the Indians as long as they or their descendants were alive (to occupy the lands. The contention of the province is, of course, that as soon as the lands cease to be occupied by the Indians they revert to the province. Then again the Peace River lauds and those in the raihvay belt add complications to the question, and it is most desirable that the supreme courtof the province should place themselves on record either one way or the other in giving an .interpretation of the various statutes and agreements effecting the case. In fact it shows the utmost confidence on the part of the provincial government in the strength of their case Avhen they thus seek to bring it before the British Columbia court, comprised as it is, almost Avholly of the appointees of the federal government against Avhom their case is urged. There were four justices of the supreme court who heard the argument and whether they will deliver a decision on the question, after their reluctance at hearing the argument at all, remains to be seen. What with pronounced opposition of men like Templeman and Ross, in all matters where the interests of the province conflict with those of the Dominion, and this tendency on the part of the supreme court to show the marble heart, poor B.C. appears to be up against it. The proposed introduction of j the closure at Ottawa is a blow' aimed at one of the fundamen-j tal principles of the British eon-; stitutiou, and a menace to the ; liberty and rights of the people. Yet Ave are told that the premier of Canada intends to introduce it in the Canadian House of Commons because of his anger at being thwarted in an attempt to interfere with the franchise i-ights of the people of Manitoba and British Columbia. The right to furnish supply, and to present grivance before granting supply, has been for centuries the palladium of the people's liberty, which "Lance and torch and tumult, steel and gray-goose aving. Wretched, inch and ell and all, .....-��������� .sloAvly from the King." If any pretext could be offered for the introduction of the closure in Canada, the defeat of the Aylesworth bill in the memorablie session ,of 1908 should be the last one; for if ever an opposition was justified or to be com mended for killing a shameful measure by falling back upon that old constitutional right, it was when the obnoxious clause of the Ayles- Avorth bill was with-drawn because of.-the.fight put up against it, and no act that Sir Wilfrid Laurier may do Avould have the effect of tarnishing his public record, in the years to come, as the1 employment of the closure at this juncture. 1908 Paid Up Capital ������1,000,000 Sterling.

KXTB A-PRO VINCIAL COMPANY. A novel idea for helping on the anti-tuberculosis movement is that of the sale of Christmas stamps. These stamps resemble the ordinary postage stamp and Avhile they will not serve to carry mail matter, they may be placed on all. letters, cards, parcels, etc. spreading the interest in this beneficent movement, and providing funds for carrying it on, as all the profit from the sale of stamps goes towards maintainance of hospitals for the care and cure of consumptives. British Columbia has now a hospital of its own for consumptives at Tranquille, and we presume that the stamps being sold in the coast cities will be for the support of this institution. The people of Eastern Canada are consolidating their forces in aid of the Muskoka free hospital, and as this institution opens its doors to patients from any part of the Dominion, it is hoped that "Com pakiks Act, 1897."

Ex-Govt������nor DeAvdnoy was in town on Friday nighfcon his Avay to Princeton.looking as vigorous as ever, making his friends wonder if he possesses some secret of eternal youth. As far back as 1860 Edgar DeAvdney was a factor-in the public life of this province, performing public services that will outlive him. In one of Gosnell's most recent contributions to his admirable series depicting life in British .Columbia half a century ago, the story is told of the building of the DeAvdney trail and it reads as interesting as a volume of adventure. Building Comfortable. Quarters���������Railway Graders,had a Clean Coast���������Convenient Arrangements in View. Bull-dog BroAvn is building on his property across the river, a dAvelling house of stone, thus shoAving- his belief that the palmy days of the Bulldog mineral claim Avill be of too great duration for more perishable building material. He is doing the masonry Avork himself, having, ample building material from rock broken in prospecting the claim, and has also abundance of lime at hand Avhich he has burned for himself from an exceedingly porous character of limestone that reduces to lime very easily. His ���������brother-in-IaAv, Capt. Kent, has proven himself an ardent, capable coadjutor, taking as kindly to the Avork of mining as he formerly folloAved the sea. At present the railAvay graders of the V- V. & E. are at Avork on the grade immediately under the steep declivity Adhere the Bull-dog Avorkings are located and thus development Avork on tho claim if still carded on Avould endanger the raihvay navvies. . Hoav- ever there is no Avorking at cross purposes Avith the raihvay men everything being arranged amicably; and the temporary suspension of mining is taken advantage of for the purpose of completing the necessary buildings. When the raiHvay grade is completed, it is understood that the 1'aihvay engineers will make provisions for giving him an ore shoot either over the track or under it. The property has shoAvn up exceedingly Avell Avith the Avork done on it during the past eight months, and Avhen developement has been pushed to the shipping point, the ore direct from the mine can easily bo loaded in the cars from an ore chute over the main-track Avithout even the cost of putting iu a siding.

NOTES AND COMMENTS "' "The Grand Forks Smi takes a tlie Phoenix Pioneer to task on Aits quasi-neutrail ty attitude and in doing so talks some good horse sense applicable to the neuter gender species, which it thinks ought to hike for Russia. A.J. .Balfour, the leader of the Unionist party in Great Britain, has burned his bridges behind him in the matter of fiscal reform. Speaking at . Cardiff the other day, he said : "It avus becoming clearer every day at home,--in the colonies and to alarmed foreign spectators that fiscal reform is no remote ideal and all movements and political forces and the trend of economic speculation were alike driving the' country to this great change, which every man on v the other side kneA\T was approaching." For a piece of spitfire, all-in- one-breath, name-calling' this broadside at British Columbia by Hon. Clifford Sifton's organ tlie Brandon Sun, will be hard to beat. It'says: - "When you size up the British Columbia bunch of socialists, populists, independents, Hindus, Japs, Chinks, salmon ringsters, lumber combinesters, busted mine promoters, fruit land salesmen, .summer resort boosters, Dick McBride and- Bowser���������It is not surprising that the delayed elections went against the government. Why, each and every element of the motley eroAvcl is dead against every form of civil government ever kuownto mankind." REACHING OUT FOR TRADE The Fame of M. J. Henry's Nursery Has Travelled Far and Wide. As an illustration of the expanding business of M. J. Henry, the foremost nurseryman of western Canada, it might bo mentioned that recently shipments Avere made from his head nursery 3010 Westminster road, Vancouver, to St. George, Bermuda, to China, and to Bellray Castle, the home of Sir Arthur Middleton, Northumberland, England. Mr. Henry recently supplied the full order for ornmental trees, shrubs and vines for the. Empress Hotel, Victoria. This order Avas secured in open competition Avith many outside points. The total Aveight of the shipment Avas over four tons, piobably the largest shipment ever sent to a single purchaser on Vancouver Island. This is only another instance of the development of this great industry. c HANDBOOK. (Xcav Kdition issued March, .1*108.) SIZK: Octavo. I'AGK.S: 1228.
